Ah go ahead and use the kill switch. What you need to do is get your mind right. Like say a hardley friend of yours hams the clutch lever. Now you are out a Clutch. The point being...
TAKE THE KEY OUT! Always. Before you get off of the sickle.
The Kill switch is nice when you want to leave the sickle in gear and turn it off. How ya going to do that with your hand on the clutch lever? I have problems with parking on inclines in Floriduh.
Also I leanrt this past NH Rally that the reason the rear taillight is in series with the speedo lamp is not an engineering fow paw, but an intentional way of wiring since the way old days. When your speedo light is out you don't have any rear tail light! Thanks Matt for bringing me up to speed on why the headlight stays on with the kill switch killing.
